Weekly Horoscope for Cancer
(JUNE 21 - JULY 22)
Song of the Week
When I was a young man I carried me packAnd I lived the free life of the rover
From the Murray's green basin to the dusty outback
I waltzed my Matilda all over
Then in 1915 my country said:
Son, It's time to stop rambling, there's work to be done
So they gave me a tin hat and they gave me a gun
And they sent me away to the war
And the band played Waltzing Matilda
When the ship pulled away from the quay
And amid all the tears, flag waving and cheers
We sailed off for Gallipoli
It well I remember that terrible day
When our blood stained the sand and the water
And how in that hell they call Suvla Bay
We were butchered like lambs at the slaughter
Johnny Turk, he was ready, he primed himself well
He rained us with bullets, and he showered us with shell
And in five minutes flat, we were all blown to hell
He nearly blew us back home to Australia
And the band played Waltzing Matilda
When we stopped to bury our slain
Well we buried ours and the Turks buried theirs...
..Then it started all over again
Oh those that were living just tried to survive
In that mad world of blood, death and fire
And for ten weary weeks I kept myself alive
While around me the corpses piled higher
Then a big Turkish shell knocked me arse over head
And when I awoke in me hospital bed
And saw what it had done, I wished I was dead
I never knew there was worse things than dying
Oh no more I'll go Waltzing Matilda
All around the green bush far and near
For to hump tent and pegs, a man needs both legs
No more waltzing Matilda for me
They collected the wounded, the crippled, the maimed
And they shipped us back home to Australia
The armless, the legless, the blind and the insane
Those proud wounded heroes of Suvla
And when the ship pulled into Circular Quay
I looked at the place where me legs used to be
And thank Christ there was no one there waiting for me
To grieve... and to mourn... and to pity...
And the Band played Waltzing Matilda
When they carried us down the gangway
Oh nobody cheered, they just stood there and stared
...Then they turned all their faces away
Now every April (May) I sit on my porch
And I watch the parade pass before me
I see my old comrades, how proudly they march
Renewing their dreams of past glories
I see the old men all tired, stiff and worn
Those weary old heroes of a forgotten war
And the young people ask "What are they marching for?"
And I ask myself the same question
And the band plays Waltzing Matilda
And the old men still answer the call
But year after year, their numbers get fewer
Someday, no one will march there at all
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
Who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me?
And their ghosts may be heard as they march by the billabong
So who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me?

Weekly Horoscope for Cancer Summary
Hey Moondoggies...
It's Memorial Day Weekend... The time to remember all those people that have fought & died for our countries & causes... The sad part about it is that in just a few short years afterwards, everybody tends to forget... Except those who's lives were physically or emotionally crippled by the terrible war experiences... Isn't it about time we said "enough is enough"... It reminds me of the quote by Carl Sandburg... "Sometime they'll give a war, and nobody will come"... It's not the people we fight that are the ones that create the problems... Let the leaders fight & die fercrissakes... They're the ones that are so obsessed with greed for power & control of our lives.
The reason I am saying this is because Pluto has moved into a T-Square with Uranus & Saturn... If there ever was a time (in the next year) that we are primed to slip into a major world war, it would be now... All the destructive qualities are there... (you're seeing the energy mirrored in the intense weather we're having)... Sooner or later people are going to have to say enough is enough... 16.5 million were killed in WW-I... 65 million in WW-II... Just imagine how many would happen in WW-III?... One the people start trying to hold the leaders accountable for the economic mess they've gotten us into, you can bet your ass that they'll find some scape-goat to blame... History shows us that time & time again!!
This isn't just about what is going on in the Big World... The same energies are being played out in our personal lives too... Pluto may be the smallest, but it may be one of the most powerful planets in the zodiac... It's main objective is to bring about personal transformations... It's the "rags to riches" story... (or riches to rags when people lose their integrity)... This current T-Square offers each of the opportunities to rise above the madness & take the steps needed to provide for ourselves... Not to rely upon the hand-outs of Modern Life, but to become "creators" like our Father (the Big Guy) intended us to be... Trackin' with me on this...
If for but one day a year, we all stop to consider the madness... Perhaps it might someday inspire us to get past the lust for power & control and actually work together for a change... That's the potential I see in the current charts... At least if we rise above taking the path of least resistance... I'm not going to shit ya's though... I think the next year is going to be critical for our survival.
Keep the Faith... Better Days & Higher Love are coming soon...

The Weekly Horoscope for Cancer
In a way, this energy is very much like the universe sitting back and asking you... "Just what the hell do you want??... And what do you expect from me?".... It's like this, all options are on the table for you right now... The simple truth is that this really is the time when you need to get off your ass and take action, or all this beneficial energy will end up going to waste... (sorry to be so blunt about that)... The universe isn't going to kiss your ass and wait for you to take action... It puts it out there, you either chose to "ride the waves" or to get the hell out of the way... It's all up to you anyway...
Being all dynamic inside doesn't do you a lot of good, unless you have your core group of allies that you can trust & rely upon,,, That's what this current transit is all about... it's about helping you establish new relationships/friendships by being able to express what you really want, need & expect from others in your life... It's a simple concept, if you don't say it... They won't know... (duhhhh) hehehe... Your powers of personal attraction are sky high right now... Again, it's all about being totally clear about what you want & what you need so others understand where they stand with you.
...Show some Love...

Daily Tao
In using the military, there is a saying:I dare not be the host, but prefer to be the guest
I dare not advance an inch, but prefer to withdraw a foot
This is called marching in formation without formation
Raising arms without arms
Grappling enemies without enemies
Holding weapons without weapons
There is no greater disaster than to underestimate the enemy
Underestimating the enemy almost made me lose my treasures
So when evenly matched armies meet
The side that is compassionate shall win
